MATCH
PREVIEW
Jubilo
Iwata are no longer the strong side they used to be
when they won the J League title in 2002. It was a big surprise they
didn’t lose any match in April. But they lost to another weak side Vissel Kobe 0-3 in Round 11. Jubilo
Iwata showed that they aren't really a strong team.
Forward Lee
Keun Ho will be absent due to his attendance at South
Korean internationals' training camp. Jubilo
Iwata rely on him very much. His absence is very
serious.
Kawasaki Frontale drew with Gamba Osaka in
last game. They scored 4 goals and conceded 4. Good or
bad? Kawasaki Frontale have
serious problems with their defense this year. After playing so many
matches, head coach Tsutomu Takahata still can't
solve that problem.
Kawasaki Frontale’s attack is improving and will win the match.

Kawasaki Frontale won 2-0 at home and lost 1-2 away last year.
